8 THE CITY COUNCILMEN HIGHLYJOMMENDED, All Are Good Men and Have Welfare of City at Heart. i ?? ( MR. J. W. TWITTY'S VIEWS. ' i ! I Mr. Finest Moore's Elevation to > Judgeship a Distinct Triumph of Anti-Hleaseism. To the Editor of The News: Since my last communication to ' The News I have been taking Christ- 1 mas, and as Mr. Sam Dunlap used to ' say, watching the Zodiac. ; Excent a few (lavs of extretnelv cold ' weather, the time has been pleasant- . ly spent. I want to ask the editor where the "Red Rose" (a name applied to the county) came from? A late Issue of The News (January 6th Instant.) as It seemed, would have Its readers to know It by that name. By the way, the editor's article on said date, entitled "Our aim," can but please its readers. It was pointed and well said. I congratulate your city and endorse their selection for councilmen for ensuing term. They are all good men and have the welfare of the city at heart, and will work for its upbuilding. It is presumed that your city fathers have new and important work on their hands or will have very soon and therefore "child's play" does not enter into their work. 1 allude to the installation of sewerage, etc., which the council have before them. I am much pleased at the elevation of Ernest Moore to the judgeship of the sixtli circuit. It is a distinct triumph of anti-Bleaseism. aside from the fact that Ernest will make a good judge and be a credit and honor to himself and family. His friends feel sure he will attract attention and soon will lie reckoned among the first judges in the state. Furthermore it is convenient and desirable to have a resident judge. Your city has be. n thus favored for many years, in the person of Judge Jones. Let the old county hold her own and be able to put forward good men as they may be needed. I am glad that Judge Jones is a philosopher?is able to take work at home with a smile and be with his family night and day and in all probability make as much money. He does not set all his eggs under one hen. A former citizen of this place, Mr. C. R. Pendleton passed to the great beyond yesterday at Macon, Ga. His death was quite a shock to this community. He was editor and proprietor of The Macon Telegraph and at one time owned and published The Valdosta Times. He was a good newspaper man and possessed a high character as an honest man and a goon writer. We have few such men these days. Peace to his ashes. Of late I notice that some of the railroad managers and owners are claiming that they are not sufficient1,. .,.,1.1 ......miliio f..t?~.l o?_? ? to thank all who have expressed, In one way or another, appreciation of my letters to The News. They have 1 een encouragement to me. I hope to be able to continue to write occasionally, but not often. Kind regards to all relatives and News readers. J. W. TWITTTr, Valdosta, Ga., Jan. 17, 1914.

While employed as a mining enp ueer with the largest zinc mlnii corporation in the United Suites, franklin Furnace, N. J., Mr. V Hazel Cunningham became interestc in chickens, and being rather ene none aim amomous, ne mini ins nr chicken house and tilled it wi1 Single Comb White Leghorns to I in liis spare time while not on du for the zinc company. After a year or two's work wi x hundred of these Leghorns, at h spare time, he found that he w; making quite a little money from tl ggs he sold for eating purpose alon mid became more enthusiastic tin ver. He read a great many poult journals and then began a cour ivith the International Correspo lence School of Scranton, Pa., whi< it that time he thought to be givii die best in "Poultry Culture." I in I shed the course and in the mea ;ime visited some of the largest poll ry farms in the East, where he gatl 'red a great deal of practical expe ence along with his theory. lie r reived his diploma treating of tl ollowing subjects, viz: Poulti louses, poultry house managemen loultry feeding, natural incubatio intural brooding, artificial incub .ion, artificial brooding, laying hen narket eggs, market poultry, pou try farms, combination poulti arms, poultry appliances, enemii ind diseases of poultry, turkey vuter fowls, squabs, peafowls, guitu owls and pheasants. After meditating over the subjec or a year, he thought, as he had i nterest in a farm in South Carolin ie would venture there, where lun ier and labor would lie much cheap* ind climatic conditions would I ;o favorable, until he could produi ggs at a much lower cost, when tin vould be selling the highest in tl Northern markets; also if he stiirti vith good stock he would be able supply the Southern field which 1 laid would be sure to open up, an s; but very slow in South (Jfirolii ompared with other states. Mr. Cunningham purchased 1,0( lay old chicks of the Single Coil (Vhtte Leghorn variety (which 1 says cannot be beat for layers) fro he largest and best paying egg far n America, and then moved to h arm, where he expected to re; hem. He moved to South Carolii >n March 1st, 1912, went to his farr >icked a good location for his plai inu after hard work with the co-o ration of his three brothers, J. Ito r. K. Jr., and It. F. Cunningham, ht lis first house built for the recentir >f his 1,000 chicks. The time cam >ut to his sorrow and regret the e tress company had handled the litt ellow so roughly that it was impo tible to raise more than 20 per cen flie season was rather late to put I mother large order, so he had I nake the best of it. Out of the 2C 'aised he selected about sixty goc treeders and purchased some moi tld fowls (the best he could get) i he fall and made his foundation f( i start. Crossing these two strains < hiekeiis ( Itaneocas and Wyckoff) i ;ays he raised close on to l.Of luring 1 !? 1 and after selling tl >roilers and eggs front the f>00 layii tens he maintains he has taken lose on to $2,1100. lie has built a new and up-to-da irooder house with concrete flon vhich lie expects to brood 2,0( hicks past the brooder stage at tring his capacity of laying liens \ o 1,000 this coming fall. His equipment now consists of tv aying houses 100 feet long l>y 1 eet wide, of the open front type wli Iropping board and rttost in"rear ai test under dropping boards. The louses face the south so as to g he maximum sunshine in winter ar milt tight on north, east and we side to prevent draughts. The dro jings are eleaned off daily and sai sprinkled on the hoards to keep clro >ings from sticking and spreadii iiseases. The poles and hoards a scraped and disinfected with tv pounds of naphtholene Make dl solved into one gallon kerosene < *very month in winter and every tv iveeks in summer to prevent lice ai mites. The houses are located in the ce ter of a two-acre yard with a par ion fence so as to plant green food < mo side while fowls are grazing < the other. Each yard has pine ai cedar trees for shade and the land well drained, which is absolute necessary to prevent droppings co tamlnating the soil. These houses are built for 5 hens, allowing 11 Mt square feet Moor space for each bird and a known as the 500 unit; that is 5 birds can be taken care of mu cheaper than any other unit a thrive much better in proportion smaller units, time and labor tak into consideration. The hens are fed each one-h ounce of grain thrown Into straw attle on the floor to Induce exerc at 7:30 a. m. At 9:30 one-h ounce more Is given, at 10:30 oi half ounce of green food is given, 1 p. m. one-half ounce more of grj is given and at an hour before si down 1 % ounces of grain is glv< Most of grain is wheat, oats, bar! and com, the corn being fed with 1 last feed of the day only. There i hoppers inside of the house conta ing dry mashes all the time comp ed of wheat bran, middlings, ct meal, alfalfa, linseed meal, hi scraps, oyster shells and eharec The hens are given fresh water th: times a day. Resides the two laying houses a yards and brooder house as mentii ed, Mr. Cunningham has a concr cellar part under ground and p above for incubating eggs, has incubators for hatching BOO ei at one time, but he tells us he is ing to install a sectional hot wa mammoth Incubator, 1,200 capac! in addition to this and expects to .? |>UIU IUI ' ,11 IJIIIh lilt- i llllt-tl mall. Of course, they will take all they can got, but I have been impressed for years that they were overpaid for the work and before an advance is made a thorough investigation and comparison of rates should be made. There is now a great furore or much being said about tainted food. Mooters are being employed and paid to look into such things, but it is the opinion of many that it is a useless expenditure of money, as the work is now done. I btdieve that the head and manager of most families are able to judge in such matters. Why employ a doctor or college graduate when the same ends are accomplished by the housewife? It strikes me that it is safe to conclude that most grown people can detect tainted fish, pork, beef. etc. I bring forward such things as last mentioned so they can be weighed or considered. If it is not a case for the public to take hold of, let it remain in oblivion. The ladies of our city have recently fitted up a home for women and < hildren coming in from the country. I is equipped with a matron and - ich furi i things as are necessary for s ich quarters. I am not advised fully as to its management and howit is to be kept up. Of course, it is maintained by voluntary contributions, but is is expected that the merchants of the city will contribute more liberally than outsiders, because the house accommodates their i < ustomers. If it could be so all towns should nrovide such ouarters for their rnnn try friends and customers. It Is very embarrassing for ladles from the country, especially with a sick child, (they often get sick after leaving home) and nowhere to go. Of course I otels will take them in, but often hey are without money to buy such accommodation. Mr. Skipper's tragic death was, no d rubt, quite a shock to his Lancaster ftiends. I was not personally ac.uainted with him, but my sympathies were aroused In his behalf and now, since his death, his family are assured of my sympathy and well wishes. I call to mind the death of Mr. Cloyd and Marion J. Long. I knew . slid respected both men and hereby tender my sympathies to their respective families?survivors. In concluding this letter, I desire THE LANCASTER NEWS, hatching; for other people who are b not familiar with nrtiticinl incubation, w yj His store and supply room is on a o floor above the incubator cellar, s where be packs his eggs for shipping, ii All eggs are sold as fast as gathered fi s- and are gathered twice a day from j< the nests in summer to prevent get- t] ting heated by the hens. n His feed room is on second floor 1 above incubator cellar, where he ;1- stores and mixes feed scientifically to \ >g supply the wants of the different size IV at chickens. I' V. Mr. Cunningham tells us he has ii built this plant himself together with t r- the help of his brothers, actually do- c st ing practically all the hard labor v lb connected with building and it takes ill continual personal supervision to s ty keep it going. t . In the near future he expects to th build colony houses, 8x1 n. and place > is out on the field to help destroy insects t as on crops and gain a living for his lie chickens after brooder stage until t e, laying stage. in Anyone at all interested in chickens ( ry of the best variety will find a visit to P se the Cunn<ngham Poultry Farm both c n- interesting and profitable. ;h \V.

Miss Fraser is certainly doing a good work for the women of the rural dis- f tricts. She is very enthusiastic and r ro her talks on home keeping, cooking, 'n etc., cannot fall to be of great benefit 1 )r to all who hear them. She brought with her a home-made tireless cooker and all seemed to be surprised how u> cheaply one can be constructed. I 'd trust that many other communities in S 10 Lancaster county will be able to se P cure the services of Miss Fraser. The Home Makers- Club in this ! j community is doing a fine work also. x The meetings are held monthly, and , r- various topics pertaining to the home j and to the rearing of children are j ?d discussed, and some charity work is >P done.
